There are so many awesome fishing opportunities here. I got to thinking about my “hit list” a.k.a. goals for fishing. I’ve only been fishing for 3 yrs here, but have lived here for 13 so I still have a lot to experience. I’ve had some trophy Trout and zillions of redfish up to 22" and lots of sharks already. In the past couple weeks I have been close to meeting 1 and 2…
My list:
30"+ redfish
Tailing redfish (bonus OTF) - Made a lot of progress this fall, but the goal not met yet…</font id=“blue”>
Night fishing for trout - Knocked this one off last night 9/30/09, with bonus OTF. Caught others on spinner too. I know…its small! </font id=“blue”>
Spanish Mackeral
Spade fish
Future list
6. Cobia
7. Tarpon
8. King mackeral
9. Jack Crevalle
10. All the above OTF!
You gotta get that #1 while in your yak. I have put two over 30" in the yak out of Bushy this year and it is a blast! Check out the kayak forum for a potential trip this Sunday, you may be able to get #1 and 2 if you’re really lucky!

xman,
I wish I could, but I have out of town visitors this weekend. I’m definitely gonna get there sometime soon I hope.
Did you convince Cane to get a yak yet?
Maybe he can go in his canoe
Tarpon on fly, Chas county. Gotten one in BFT before. Had 3 days where it was a viable sight fishing option in chas. As in, I could see fish in the water and could present a fly to them while still sighted. They were sliding through a big cut in a sandbar and looked like big black logs under the surface. Of course I didn’t have the twelve weight with me any of those days. Bait fishing was outstanding for them that weekend at least.
